To allfwhom 'it may concern: v

Be it known that I, WILLIAM RAYMOND KAUFMAN, a citizen of the,r United States, and resident of Sulphur, in the countyv of Murray and State of Oklahoma, have invented an Improved Smoking-Pipe, of which the following is a specification.

`My invention is an improvement in pipes and the like, such as cigar and cigarette holders; and the invention consists-1n certain novel constructions and combinations of parts forming a smoking apparatus as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side view partly in section of a pipe embodying my invent-ion, in which the.y parts are united by 4 screw joints. Fig. 1a is a detail section on about line 1a1a of Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing slip joints instead of screw joints. Fig. 3 is a cross section on about line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. l is a detail side view of the partition; and Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a smoking apparatus in the form of a cigar or cigarette holder.

By my inventibn I provide in the smoke channel a chamber enlarged relatively to the smoke passages and provided with a straining partition Vbetween the mouth piece and the opposite end ofthe apparatus, whereby the smoke will be strained, dried and cooled, thus eliminating the burning of the tongue, and whereby the spittle will be sto ped and may accumulate in the chamber and may be discharged by opening the chamber by detaching its sections.

In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the stem A has the smoke passage A and a nipple A2 which threads into the'section B of the intermediate chamber B. Said section B has a screw connection at its openend with the open end of the section B2 of the chamber B, which said section has athreaded nipple B3 screwing into connection with the bowl C, as shown in Fig. 1, the partition D having a rim D of metal or the like, and a covering D2 which may be of silk, linen or other suitable material, which may be of any desired thickness and single or double as may be desired. This partition D is clamped between the sections B and B2 of the chamber B, when the latter are screwed together,

as will be understood from Figs. 1 and 1, and it forms a partition through which the smokemustpass to the stem. Manifestly, instead of using screw joints as shown in Fig. 1, I may connect the stem a, the chamber b, yand the bowl C byslip joints as shown in Fig. 2, and it will also be understood thatinstead of employing a pipe bowl as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the smoklng apparatus may have at'E a holder for cigars or cigarettes, as' illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawing. y.

In practice, the device may be made of amber, hard rubber, Celluloid, wood, metal, glass, or any other desired material or co1npositlon. l

In use, by unscrewing the bulb or chamber at the center, the spittle can be thrown Aout and the partition removed and replaced by a new one as often as` required. In practice, the bulb or chamber B may be made a part of or separate from the pipe, and when made separate, it can be attached to any ordinary construction of lpi e with either straight or crooked stem, an when the pipe becomes worn out or broken, the bulb or chamber may be removed and used with a new pipe of an desired make.

Manlfestly, t e partitions can be supplied separately or any suitable number may be supplied with each bulb or chamber as may be found desirable. by the trade.

It will be noticed, especially in Figs. 1 and 2that the bulb or chamber receiving the partition is provided with an inlet channel communicating with the channel in the bowl C, and with an outlet channel communicating with that in the stem or mouth piece A, and that the chamber is provided with the inwardl projecting tubular portions or nip les B2 and B5 surrounding the inlet and out et passages and extending into the chamber and adapted to operate as checks to prevent any spittle that may accumulate in the chamber from passing into the bowl or from returning through the stem or mouth piece.

The constructlon is simple, easily cleaned, and will be found useful in securing a clean, cool smoke, as is desired.

It will be noticed that the section of the bulb which is threaded internally to screw on the external portion of the bulb, has in rear of its lthreaded portion a shoulder forming a bearing or seat for one side of theframe D, the end of the externally threaded section forming a bearing or abutment for the other side of the said frame, in the use of the invention, as best shown in Fig. 12.

I claim:

The smoking apparatus consisting of a y at its edges betweenlthe said sections'at the Witnesses:

stern or mouthieee,"a holder' for the'malstrainer' with tubular portionsprojecting in- 10 terial to be smo ed and a bulb between the vwardly in a direction at a right angle to thelv said mouthieee and holder, said bulb being glane of the strainer, all substantmlly and divided mi way between said parts into secor the. purposes set forth. tions and havin said sections united by a Y Y scevsf joint, com ined With a, strainer held WHIJAM RAYMOND YKAUEMAN' screw threaded joint thereof, the said see- W.
